I actually have the series box set in ebook & audio. But I’m going to review each novella individually. These novellas follow the same couple and build off events from previous books - so you want to listen/read them in order. They’re probably best fit for those in the mood for short & simple stories.

2.5⭐️ - rounded up for narration.

This was kind of all over the place. A lot of random things packed into a novella that I guess is intended to tease the whole series which follows a single couple. Also - this is a spin-off from another series (or two?) that I’ve never read and a LOT of characters from those were mentioned. I’m wondering if some of this would have made more sense if I was already familiar with the previous books.

Tucker (39) isn’t entirely likable - fairly superficial, misogynistic, and grumpy. I guess he’s meant to finally “grow up” or something, but it didn’t really happen other than a proclamation at the end.

Brandy is younger (24) and comes off as flaky and sort of drifting in figuring out what she wants to do.

They basically have a drunken hook-up after a friends’ wedding that spins into something more.

I’m not sure I would continue if I didn’t already own the whole set. But I am interested to see how Hamilton continues with the plots teased.

This is my first time listening to JD Hart. I really enjoyed his performance. He has the grisly/growly voices perfect for the male characters and I still enjoy his female ones.

I liked Tucker and Brandy's chemistry. The book jumped in the deep end without a care.

Tucker and Brandy were not of a mind to have a relationship, but when they met, they were combustible; and not just sexually. I am not sure of the span of time in this book, but their instalust turned into instalove.

This is a quick read and a good start to their relationship. Hopefully, we will find out about her father and his Although this is short, it can be read as a standalone. I imagine their journey will be continued in another book, otherwise this is kind of pointless.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

A grown ass man with naked women POSTERS on his wall. Sweet Jesus, run girl run!
The posters were really the last straw.

I listened to the audiobook.
This book was a super cute story about a Navy seal and a woman 15 years his junior. Love that he fought to give her the confidence she didn’t have.
The reading was super smooth with just the right voice inflection.
I look forward to more in this series.

This novella is book one in the Bone Frog Brotherhood series and it features Tucker and Brandy. This is their beginning. I’m not sure how I feel about Brandy. She seems to be lacking in the intelligence department. I am happy to say that Brandy is not model thin but is a plus sized woman. She is perfect for the very large and built SEAL.

This is a short read and I’m looking forward to finding out more about these two.
